[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they started this process with Fleet as a new school pulling from everywhere we wouldn’t be where we are. But they wanted Fleet built without as much resistance so they lied and said it was a bigger school for PH and now were in this clusterf*ck. I really don’t blame the Henry parents for being livid. And I don’t blame SF for thinking it’s obvious it should be Henry PUs. The SB was disengenous through out and this is a problem of their own making.[/quote]

But we had our hands tied from the beginning.
Can’t ask the county for land or former schools or money

We didn’t show up for the AHMP
We weren’t well represented on the working group looking at future sites ( vhc, buck)

Bingo. Having the new school be as far away within the Henry zone as possible from the poorer students was the biggest problem. If geography is king, then we just made Fleet a better option for nort of 50 students than south of columbia pike students. Amazing.[/quote]

Fleet would help north arl
Be very wealthy
Alcova won’t get zoned to it
CH will be moved to Drew
Randolph and Barcroft remain F’ed
We’ll all see that Drew shouldn’t have been promised a neighborhood school

Of course if the homeowners of Douglas park ( the large side ) had all Pushed to be rezoned to Drew, they would have had a shot at a good school with ok demographics. But they actually fought against their best self interests. They aren’t the brightest and aren’t particularly plugged in, so I’m not surprised.[/quote]
